Ideal use cases include ceramic tiling installations where joints require reliable adhesion and movement tolerance, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and other interior wet areas where tiles may experience expansion or contraction.

Common mistakes to avoid: not cleaning the substrate thoroughly, failing to remove air pockets under the tape, applying tape over dusty or wet surfaces, or leaving the tape exposed before tile and grout are installed. Ensure the tape remains properly seated and covered where necessary by tiles and grout.
